Post office uses notorious Evri

Recently used post office to send two parcels one to abroad and one inland.
As I used to trust the post office, I didn't keep the recept.
However both parcels did not arrive despite two months has passed. Asked the post office stuff what delivery company they use and to my horror they said the post office uses the notorious Evri for delivery.

No wonder both of my parcels did not arrive. Disgusted
When I told the stuff about EVRI extremely poor services they said they cant decide but higher up in the post office management decide and surely they are aware of Evri poor service but they use it to make money.
I am disgusted. Shall not use post office for sending parcel anymore.

Horrible management!

Horrible management at post office on Shardlow Road, Derby so far! For example, they are in partnership with Evri and they've got very clear blue signs saying: "Send - RECEIVE - Return" or "send - collect - return"!
But, if your name is not English they refuse any parcel on your name, they don't accept it. Discrimination!
I've never seen any condition (subscription, membership etc) to have the right to receive a parcel there.
Nasty management!

Lost again!

Post office got my parcel lost or delayed again?
At 8:58, April 10, 2026, I handed over my parcel to be sent to London, by second class, but up to now still not arrive yet! Years ago, Post office got my keys lost which incurred a big penalty to my friends, and we got nothing to compensate. Happened again?

Due to Lambeth council that were supposed to send out my documents I was left waiting over 1 month for my certificate that was purchased from the Council. Paid £9.00 to have delivered to my address…
There’s no tracking number available and no one to talk to about why it’s taking so long. This certificate is needed urgently and postage service is not acceptable.

Dereham post office

Enjoyed going to the post office at Dereham Norfolk today, as we have no post office in Thetford. Very helpful assistant who helped my mother out filling in forms ect, her name was Wendy, the other lady serving was called Hayley, as she was very helpful & cheerful too.
I wish everyone in every shop was as helpful as them two girls, keep it up, was like a breath of fresh air today.

AVOID

AVOID. Do not trust your money to these clowns. I opened an account online and my money I transferred didn’t appear in the account! I called “customer services “ they were worse than useless. Emailed the CEO Neil Brocklehurst, two weeks so far no reply.
Nobody is interested in helping you.
PLEASE do not go anywhere near this organisation you will regret it.

Evri the 2nd

They are getting worse by the week. This time parcel left on doorstep for all to see. When they can be bothered to use the letterbox it sounds like artemis II has arrived, or package is crammed through or left hanging out of the letterbox. What service???????? A total disgrace......

post office review

I regularly visit this post office and always have a positive experience. The customer service is consistently excellent — the team are friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with.

In particular, Abs and Raye stand out. They’re always polite, approachable, and take the time to make sure everything is handled properly. It makes a real difference knowing you’ll be dealt with efficiently and with respect every time you come in.

Definitely a reliable and welcoming place to go.

Guisborough (Westgate) Post Office Staff

Having used Guisborough Post Office for many years I can say that the staff at the said counters are a credit to the service. They are always very helpful, pleasant and well informed. The atmosphere is one of friendly efficiency and professionalism.
I have a number of friends who travel to the Guisborough Westgate branch because of unhelpful or rude staff at their own local post office.
Well done to Guisborough Westgate and keep smiling.
